Tout en haut de la montagne
Way up high on the mountain
Où le ciel est tout en fleurs
Where the sky is all in bloom
Enfermé dans un nuage
Locked inside a cloud
Tu verras mon cœur
You will see my heart
Parle-lui du vent d'Espagne
Tell him about the wind from Spain
Parle-lui de mon amour
Tell him about my love
Et du fabuleux voyage
And the fabulous journey
Qu'il a fait un jour
That he took one day
Le soleil faisait rage
The sun was blazing
Et je tremblais de joie
And I trembled with joy
Nous avions le même âge
We were the same age
Et je vivais de toi
And I lived for you
Ce passé qui m'accompagne
This past that stays with me
Tout au long de mon bonheur
Throughout my happiness
Restera comme une image
Will remain like a picture
Au fond de mon cœur
At the bottom of my heart
Le soleil faisait rage
The sun was fierce
Et je tremblais de joie
And I trembled with joy
Nous avions le même âge
We were the same age
Et je vivais de toi
And I lived for you
N'attends pas le vent d'Espagne
Don't wait for the winds from Spain
Pour cueillir le ciel en fleurs
To gather the sky in bloom
Tout en haut de la montagne
At the very top of the mountain
J'ai laissé mon cœur
I've left my heart
C'est la fin du voyage
It's the end of the journey
Que je fais chaque jour
That I take every day
Ma chanson pour bagage
My song as my baggage
Qui me parle d'amour
That speaks to me of love
